Then you reject the authority of Scripture? We are not supposed to stop meeting together as believers. That’s not optional. Calendars are optional. Eating kosher is optional. Felowshipping with and sharing lives, burdens, hopes and worship with those who name Jesus as their Savior is not optional. Those who come up with some extraordinary excuse to avoid it, even when it’s problematic, are AWOL. Do you get permission to desert when your fellow soldiers are demoralized or have lost their focus or sense of mission? No. That’s when they need you, and you need them, most.
I don’t reject the authority of scripture at all..
I just reject the premise that the church follows it ‘sola’, when with our very life and worship practices and teachings, it can be proven we really follow ‘sola popa’..
(I used to,too)
And it all started when He taught me His Kingdom calendar, written in His sky and in His Word... which points to His Son..
The world on the other hand, follows a calendar that points to the sun, named for a pope...big difference if we test both and prove all things..
And when His calendar showed His True Sabbath, it made the pope appointed muslim, jew and christian sabbath days, all counterfeit..
And it does the same for december 25 and easter and any other man made holy days..
If there is a church that observed His Sabbath on His calendar since January, they would have observed His Sabbath on lots of different gregorian days and not one ‘set’ day like the world says..
And it has only been ‘sunday’ for three weeks of gregorian 2014. You want to know why the church may have people demoralized or concerned about the ways of the world?
Because their entire work life and worship life is based on the counterfeit world and that counterfeit world’s counterfeit premises and only partially on His Word..
And we are told by scripture, who is the god of this world.. but we are also told that He has overcome the world.. and we also are called not to be conformed to the world and to ‘come out of her, my people’.
His Kingdom will come.. I want to be prepared for it. Rejecting the world and its system is a good step to take...
And He, too, will lead you out..
HalleluYah!
